Recently, the local place that we order our ferret food from has been forgetting our orders.
I am getting fed up. We tried Bravo basic but my ferrets are picky and wouldn't eat it.
Has anyone tried Hare Today? I just don't want to order 10 pounds of the food and then my ferrets not eat it.
Also what foods do your ferrets love from there?

Luv hare today  I buy all guinea pigs there. Don't get huge ones. I mean they are fine for feeding the ribs and have nice big organs,but the leg bones are too dense for my ferrets. Hard to skin too if huge and older. I like hare today because their animals are very clean. My babies will not eat the rabbits(again watch for huge sizes--- dense bones). It is strange that they will eat rabbits from farmers market. But yours might like them. Just put in an order from Southern Florida Rodents---added a couple of rabbits from there. Going to see how they like them. Free shipping for east coast states with a $100 purchase from them. Not northeastern States. |

Another question: I finally put in my order for Hare Today.
I know with raw feeding frankenprey it is 2 oz of heart and 2 oz of organ.
I ordered whole prey ground up, so how does that work? Can you point me in the right direction? I am going to look around.

Bump.
I do not feed ground but others do. So they will be more qualified to answer your question, but ground from Hare Today I heard is complete.
Things to consider though:
1. Brushing teeth or following with bone in meals-- as ground, i do not believe cleans teeth.
2. Give variety. They get tired of the same foods every day.
3. Because ground loses taurine , I do not know if people give hearts to supplement or not.
Hope others chime in to help u on this.

thank you.
I got ground with bones, organs, and bones. I will be planning on feeding chicken necks, wing tips, etc. to clean the teeth.
I am just not sure about the organs.

Bump.
The organs are in there. So no need to worry about organs.
I wonder about loss of taurine, so if I was to feed ground, I would give heart snacks every week, but will see what others say,as it may not be necessary.

Thanks. I'll just give them 2 oz of hearts still. They love the duck and pheasant so far. Not particular about the whole prey grind but I'm trying.

I personally don't have much experience in grinds, but let me tag Sherry, as I am also curious about this. |

If they are whole animals grinds i'd not worry TOO much. I feed grinds mornings only so do still supplement with heart/liver every couple of weeks.

Thank you, I just didn't want to over organ them. I'll get chunks for the afternoon. They aren't liking the whole animal grinds so it is skinless duck/organs/bones
